Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams - Ensuring Culturally Specific Responses
The Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams: Ensuring Culturally Specific Responses Project provides Training & Technical Assistance (TTA) to Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams (DVFRTs) on strategies for improving culturally-specific responses to domestic violence homicide in Black communities.
Training & Technical Assistance includes:
- Establishing DVFRTs
- Sustaining DVFRTs
- Ensuring the implementation of culturally competent DVFRT approaches that reflect the lived experiences of underserved and marginalized communities
Ujima provides virtual training and education; virtual TA to local and state DVFRTs to strengthen their community connection and cultural context; and a clearinghouse of information on cultural context and DVFRTs through an interactive website.
Resources
We have compiled a comprehensive list of useful resources for Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams (DVFRTs) to enhance their cultural responsiveness and understand the connection between fatalities, systemic responses, gaps, trends, and community issues to prevent future fatalities.
